Chapter 494 Son of an Old Friend
“I’m just fucking working part-time as a waiter here, okay? Don’t you know what a summer job is? Let me ask you!”
Zou Lianlian She was blushing and could hardly control the decibel level of her voice.
When he heard the word "going to the sea" for the first time, he didn't realize what it meant.
After he figured out what "going to the sea" meant, he began to wonder if there was something wrong with his ears.
Otherwise, why could the guy in front of me use such a serious expression to discuss academic issues and ask such outrageous questions?
Get into the sea with that big-headed ghost! Poets hold! ! !
Su Chengyi had long expected that Zou Lian would react like this, but what the reality was was still open to question.
“Just a waiter?”
“Otherwise?! You him”
Zou Lian jumped up like a cat whose tail was stepped on, but thinking of his past experience, he could only take a deep breath and force himself to calm down.
No, you must calm down.
When facing a guy like Su Chengyi, the most taboo thing is to jump up and down and make a fuss, otherwise he will look like a clown in contrast to his calmness.
Zou Lian scratched his hair out of habit, and when he touched a hand that smelled like cheap hair salon hairspray, he suddenly lost the confidence to start a big fight.
“Can your thoughts not be so dirty?”
In the end, he just said this feebly.
Su Chengyi later realized that his question might be a little too direct.
But no matter how you look at it, there is something wrong.
"Why do you work in summer vacation? Isn't your family quite rich?"
Su Chengyi asked.
In fact, he wasn't sure whether Zou Lian's family had money, but judging from the limited impressions left in high school, at least they were definitely not short of money, and they were also a well-off family.
Part of the reason why he is so popular among girls is that he spends a lot of money and often invites people to dinner, milk tea and movies.
“If your family has money, you can’t work during the summer vacation? Can’t I experience life? Haven’t you heard of hardship education? If you don’t lack money, don’t let your children spend it.”
Zou Lian shouted impatiently.
After a while, Su Chengyi's eyes clearly showed that his thoughts were "Guess whether I believe it or not". Zou Lian choked and had no choice but to continue:
"I had a quarrel with my family a few days ago, and now I have no choice but to work.
Okay! Now you are satisfied!!"
"This It’s more in line with the scenario of being forced into the sea when you are desperate.”
“I will go to your second aunt’s sea! If Su Chengyi ever mentions this, I will strangle you to death.”
Zou Lian's face looked ugly, as if he had eaten a plate of blowflies, and his back teeth were grinding loudly.
Su Chengyi spread his hands and changed the topic.
“Why are you quarreling?”
“The reason is not important, haven’t you ever had a quarrel with your family? It’s just the most common reason - you will learn from various youth education films The ones I saw."
Zou Lian looked away, lowered his head and muttered.
Su Chengyi heard the avoidance in his words and decided not to ask further questions for the time being.
"Okay, let's just say you ran away from home during your rebellious youth period.
But, you are a top student at Huaqing University, and you are working as a waiter in a KTV during your summer vacation?
< br>Is it because the tutoring market can no longer accommodate you? If you take a step back, don’t you still know how to edit videos? ”
Su Chengyi opened up his doubts one by one.
Zou Lian is very clear about his video editing skills. After all, he personally edited the trailer for the game "Disco Elysium" and it has received numerous praises, successfully becoming the first to raise players' expectations. gun.
In this way, Zou Lian is still one of the contributors to the success of "Disco Elysium".
“With your editing skills, it shouldn’t be difficult to get private orders, right?
Among so many options to choose from, you chose the most unexpected one, so I had to make rude guesses about going astray."
Su Chengyi almost said "going to the sea" again, but when he saw Zou Lian's cannibalistic look, he changed his words temporarily.
He also added a "rude" buff to himself.
Zou Lian was silent for a while, feeling that it didn't matter whether he had a different explanation or not. None of them sounded good!
After a long while, he snorted coldly and replied:
"You said it so easily, do you think I haven't tried it?
It's almost summer vacation now. It’s over. The tutoring market has long been saturated. How can a family that has found a permanent teacher find a new teacher at this point? Maybe the salary has already been settled, and it doesn’t matter whether you are from Huaqing or Harvard. ?”
“I have also thought about video editing, but you are just an ordinary college student, you have not cooperated with a studio, you have no famous editing works, and you don’t have any good results. Why should Party A hate you?”
"Even if I wanted to take those cheap business orders at bargain prices, I didn't have the equipment. After the quarrel, I just picked up a schoolbag and left without a computer or anything."
"Walk to At a crossroads 200 meters away from home, I touched my pocket and realized that it was only fifty yuan and I could rent it for a night in an Internet cafe. It was another matter whether I could get an order. The computer in the Internet cafe might not be able to carry it. Editing software.”
Zou Lian spluttered and said a lot of words.
Su Chengyi leaned against the wall and crossed his arms, thinking that in just a few days, this pampered young master might be full of grievances to talk about.
It’s a pity that the only person he confided in was his unilaterally determined enemy.
As soon as he finished speaking, he would definitely regret it.
Su Chengyi thought this while continuing to listen with interest.
“So I first found a second-hand shop to sell my watch, because it was the most useless of the more valuable things I had.
New gadgets just released this year , two thousand yuan, sold for less than one thousand yuan, the boss said The market price is this.”
“I took a thousand yuan and thought about finding a place to live. Damn it, I almost rented it all over Tang’an City! Cheap housing. Oh, you may not know what that means.
It means one payment per day, the cheapest one is 20 per day, but you have to share the same room with others, so I chose a single room for 40 RMB. "
"To be honest, the environment is not much better. You can hear the snoring next door, but at least you have the bed to yourself, so you don't have to worry about stepping on someone's face when you get out of bed.
Forty a day plus thirty for food, my little money is not enough to last until school starts, and I also need to buy a ticket back to school, the slowest green train costs 500 many. "
"Then how can I live without finding a part-time job? I've tried everything from handing out flyers to working part-time in hotels. This kind of work is all about daily income. I feel like I'm full today and hungry tomorrow.
I was able to find a job here because I pestered the boss and talked about it for half an hour, damn it! Huaqing’s signboard was almost smashed in my hands!
ha! I worked my butt off and passed 690 in the college entrance examination, and here I am still being scolded for not being able to carry several boxes of beer! ”
When Zou Lian said this, it was as if the emotions he had been holding back for many days were poured out. For a moment, his knees felt a little weak, and he just wanted to sit in the corner for a while.
Su Chengyi Listening quietly, he lowered his eyes
Zou Lian was obviously a man who had never been short of money since he was a child, so he didn't know how to make money, especially in a company with zero starting capital. Under the circumstances.
Su Chengyi actually believed that if he could be given enough start-up capital, Zou Lian would have no problem supporting himself.
He is a person who doesn’t know what “poor” means. How can he know how to earn living expenses from scratch when he is penniless?
Probably Xu Yang is in a similar situation, he is also a naive young man, Su Cheng thought.
However, with Xu Yang's style, he obviously would not allow himself to endure hardships like this. His first stop after running away from home was definitely to seek refuge with his boss.
If driven away, he will turn to his group of friends.
If these two tricks fail, Xu Yang will probably choose to "beg" at the door of the Chu family manor.
All in all, I won’t let myself suffer at all.
If God's Perspective had banned this channel of "asking for help from relatives and friends", then Xu Yang would finally reach Zou Lian's level.
Of course, he will never swallow his anger and let the manager mock him like Zou Lian. On the first day when the manager picks trouble with him, Xu Yang will smash the wine bottle onto the manager’s carefully groomed hair. superior.
Then he was successfully taken to the detention center and his parents were notified to pick him up, marking the end of the farce of running away from home.
It's impossible for Zou Lian to do this. What this guy values most is his face and dignity.
Su Chengyi suspected that if they hadn't met by chance today, Zou Lian would not have gone to his friends for help even if he had starved to death.
Of course, if he knew in advance that he would meet Su Chengyi here, that would be another matter.
After all, there is a certain gap in the lethality between being embarrassed in front of friends and being embarrassed in front of mortal enemies.
"How's it going? Are you satisfied? You've heard enough! If you want to laugh, laugh now. If you laugh later, be careful, I'll hit you with a bottle."
After Zou Lian regained his composure, he said angrily.
As Su Chengyi expected, he began to regret it.
It doesn’t matter who you talk to, why should you talk to Su Chengyi?
He may not have realized it, but his face was red from his face to his ears, and he was in an extremely embarrassed state.
Su Chengyi was silent for a long time, shook his head and said:
"It's nothing funny. Sorry, I was overthinking it."
Zou Lian was confused by his apology. He stared for a while but didn't answer.
Just like you thought that the other party would use a super evil killer move that could defeat your Taoist heart, but it turned out not to be the case. He even took out a bottle of healing potion from his pocket and threw it to you.
Su Chengyi thought for a while, then continued:
"But misunderstandings are inevitable. You are just a waiter, why are you dressed like this? You also put on hair gel, eh, you don't know how. Are you wearing powder?”
Zou Lian: "Fuck you! Do you think I want it? Look at the waiters here who don't have hairspray on their hair? I didn't put on any fucking powder! Is there anything wrong with being white?"
Su Chengyi Listening to his angry yelling, I silently complained in my heart:
Well, although he was very angry, he had to say it.
Zou Lian's appearance and temperament were the most popular among girls when he was in school. Now he is still in this kind of situation, and his popularity is definitely higher than lower.
Isn’t this the pretty pretty girl that rich women like most? The most expensive male model appears!
Of course, Su Chengyi definitely couldn't say this now.
Otherwise Zou Lian would really fight him on the spot.
Forget it, anyway, it's good to know that he didn't go astray and go down the road of no return.
Su Chengyi leaned forward and patted Zou Lian on the shoulder.
"Very good, I'm very pleased."
Zou Lian: "."
Why did this person talk to him in a kind tone like a big brother? Has the leader of any family gone to the countryside to inspect the humanities and customs?
"Hands away! Don't touch me."
Zou Lian took a step back, but the expression on his face was not disgusting.
"I just went to the warehouse to help unload the goods. I am covered in dust. If you are willing to touch it, then you can touch it."
Su Chengyi wanted to laugh a little. Just when he was about to speak, a loud middle-aged man's voice came from the corner of the corridor:
"Where is that kid? You little brat, you dare to challenge my son? Get out right now!"
“.”
Okay, now the real Jiu Mengzi is here.
Su Chengyi sighed and quickly said:
"Here, don't be so loud."
After a while, the other guests in the box had to be led out to watch the fun. With a little bit of chivalry, they saw this pair of hateful bully father and son bullying Xiao Xiaoxu Workers might have to rush up and fight with them.
Hearing Su Chengyi's voice, Su Zelang strode over and first twisted his shoulders and checked him 360 degrees.
"Son, you didn't fight, did you? If you did, you didn't suffer, right?"
"Tsk."
Su Chengyi helplessly followed his movements and turned around, raising her hand to signal him to see who was opposite.
Su Zelang checked him to make sure there were no signs of fighting on his body, then turned his head to look at the young man next to him who looked like a waiter.
“Eh?”
Su Zelang was stunned for a few seconds. At first, he just thought that these young men looked very familiar. After a while, he remembered.
“Ah! Is this the boy who smashed my flower basket before?”
Su Zelang suddenly realized.
During the last school anniversary, he and Yang Liu came backstage to deliver a flower basket to Su Chengyi, but this little classmate suddenly appeared and angrily smashed his flower basket to pieces.
Of course, Su Zelang also remembered the reason.
This is the name that should never be mentioned between him and Yang Liu, that old friend, Zhong Qiuhe's son.
Including the subsequent jumping off building incident, Su Zelang was also aware of it.
After all, his son risked his life to save others, so he had to know who the "lucky one" was, right?
But after knowing that the person who was rescued was Zou Lian, Su Zelang silently took away the title of "Lucky Man".
After all, the fact that he would commit such a desperate act of suicide is inseparable from his family education.
As for why there were problems with his family education, the reason must be traced back to the emotional entanglements of the previous generation.
What a coincidence, Su Zelang is the absolute hero in this bloody farce.
Su Zelang looked at Zou Lian's eyebrows and eyes that were very similar to those of his old friend. He muttered a few times, as if he wanted to say something, but in the end he just sighed.
